Sir I got to say your gear is freaking fantastic, you def benefitted sticking with 1 build and grinding out that gear. I was impressed at each piece you showed. Well done!
Such a fun build. One paragon board suggestion - on the Bloodbath board, next to the Thick Hide rare node, you have an extra 5% Damage while Fortified node you can free up. I'd suggest moving that point to the Targeted rare node on the Flesh-Eater board for the 72% damage to elites and 22 intelligence (with Gravekeeper at 21). Keep up the good work!
I love the editing on your videos, highlighting the gear that you are talking about makes this build guide so much easier to follow than most content creators. Worth a sub
Do you think that it's also playable in Hardcore? what will u change eventually?
Recently got a Harlequin Crest with a GA on cooldown reduction could it be slotted in?
This is crazy, thank you - will the written guide be updated as well? There seems to be some old info in there, like taking Corspe Explosion and triggering it with Blood Mist. I do need to play the midgame tanky version as the final one with Tyrael just breaks me... not sure how much HP I need to hit or what I am doing wrong, but I get constantly oneshot in 80s Pits, and Bosses take really long to kill. That does not happen with the Bonestorm version. Feels safer ^^
Whats your push cap with holy bolts ? Just curious if it compares.
Corpes explosion does darkness damage also help reduce cooldown? or just the aphotic aspect?
where is the link for this build? The here in the video does not work.
Ha! I remember asking you about Aphotic aspect on stream, vindication! I'm still not convinced by the Control glyph as its not super good vs bosses (unless staggered). Feels like Scourge, Mage, or Darkness would be better/more consistent.
Whats the crit chance and attack speed cap for this build? Like when you press c how much % of those two do i need without calculating enchants and paragon board
Ruse something else thats worth noting that i never see mentioned is rolling a + to essence on your boots or chest (if you arent running Tyreal). Its not hugely important, but it literally allows you cast Blight on every pull through a dungeon without ever getting low on Essence. Even in your clip here i noticed you getting low fairly often during your clear while being conservative. It feels like a big quality of life to give up an int or max life roll somewhere to get this. I didnt tjink it would be that great but it really does feel much nicer having it.
Is it worth putting some change to stun/immo/freeze tempers instead of some of veins/decrep size ones?

You don't have a good way to proc lucky hit but its still probably an okay option
@Goblin-Inc What's your opinion on the Holy Bolt elixir nerf coming Monday for this build? Rob saying Golem Necro moving down to A tier but did not mention the mage build. Thoughts?
Hey Goblin, As a newer player / somewhat lazy boi, Is it possible at all to drop a ring early on for the Auto raise skelly epic until pushing harder content, i've found it fully automates the rotation and helps generate essence without having to spam Raise Skelly, Really enjoying levelling a new necro with this setup thank you!
Do you have suggestion for use with Harlequin Crest? that seems to be easier to find than a greater afix cooldown helm.

would it be worth adding +6 mage mastery to a golem build for additional damage? i use a golem build where all masterworking is golem damage priority, but i have +3 mage mastery on pants, and another +3 mage mastery on a set of gloves in storage. just wondering if increasing the mage's damage in a golem build would be better or worse. i could essentially add +12 to mage mastery for the loss of about 10% crit chance off my gloves

Just make a new character for Helltides! I've got 3 from leveling a new Necro, and killing tormented duriel on my old. I actually got a Doombringer either from Duriel or Helltide chests when I was level 80 at the start of the season. So I could break that down, but my barb may use it if i ever decide to play him. Anyway it is super easy to get to level 18 reputation with the Iron Wolves just doing Helltide. I hear the Sorcerer is fun so I'm going to level her up.
You do know they way you are playing you aren't getting max bang for your buck from Hellbent Commander, right? You need to be close to your minions (their arms glow) for it to even work.
I replaced tyrael with Embalmer aspect, getting blood begets blood in the paragon while keep 7 glyph. That's another 15% dmg boost.
